Whisk together all marinade/dressing ingredients in a large, shallow dish. Reserve 1/3 c. to use as the dressing, place in the refrigerator for later.
Add chicken to the marinade; evenly coat; cover; allow to marinate for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
While chicken is marinating, prepare tzatziki:
Combine tzatziki ingredients in a bowl; mix well; cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Toss salad ingredients together. Warm flatbreads on a pan over low heat until soft and warmed through; keep warm.
Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; place on the pan; sear until chicken is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side for a total cook time of 10 - 12 minutes.
Remove chicken from pan; allow to rest for 5 minutes; slice thickly; arrange on salad.
Slice flatbread; arrange on salad plates. Drizzle with reserved dressing.
Serve with the tzatziki.
